A new member of the family
I mentioned my friend Starla a few posts ago. She surprised me by giving me this...
Can you believe it?? It is a Singer 603E "Touch and Sew". It's one of the last all-metal machines that Singer made. She came in this beautiful cabinet with a knee lever. I'm so excited to have her!!
It came with a ton of cams for different stitches as well as two boxes of feet and a buttonholer! There are two rufflers and I think a walking foot. So fun! I can't wait to play with her!
Look, she even has her original manual!! She's missing her universal throat plate (I have the straight stitch plate) and bobbin cover, but I think we may have just dropped them when we moved her over here. Either way I found an Ebay seller that has them, so I may just buy them and have a spare.
She came with this big bag of cool buttons. I already found two silver ones in there that are perfect for my capris for my mini wardrobe. Sweet!!!

Congrats! You will love your "new" old machine, especially all the flate workspace!
OMG...congratulations. I have some extra Singer throat plates. If you can find out what it looks like I be more than will to give you what you need...for free. We internet sewing buds have got to stick together.
Lucky you! I had a Touch&Sew. It was my first machine. Enjoy her!
Wow! What an amazing gift. She looks so beautiful - I can tell that you two are going to be great friends and have a lot of fun together!
Ooooooo. Ahhhhhh. Ohhhhhhh.
You are so lukcy!!
You gave me a start for a minute - I couldn't remember if you were pregnant but I thought not and I thought maybe a new pup or kitty! too funny. Fantastic machine and love the cabinet - can't wait to see what you sew:)
Awesome gift! My Mom had a touch and sew...they are great machines!
How wonderful? Where did you find this gem? How does she run?
what a treasure!
I have exactly the same machine! (Although not in nearly as nice a cabinet). I was just sewing on it today! I often keep multiple machines up when I am going back and forth between thread colors, such as for top-stitching. I think you are really going to like this machine.
You have a new baby! She looks good - congrats. :)
Now I see why you said, hey, I have one of those on my blog!
If you did happen to have an extra ruffler, I'm in the market for slant-shank feet. They're hard to get in the UK. I have ten thousand low-shank feet if you're missing anything for another machine.
